EVANSVILLE, 

INDIANA 



THE subject of this booklet is a city situated on 
the north banks of the beautiful Ohio river, 
above all high-water marks, almost at the cen- 
ter of the population of the United States, half 
way between Louisville and Cairo. The Ohio 
river — one of the greatest waterways in the 
world — connecting a section of country unpar- 
alleled in fertility and teeming with the varied products of 
all climates. The climate of Evansville is the most even and 
agreeable, having sufificient cold in winter. for health, and 
comfort, and a summer heat tempered by the cool breezes 
from the northern lakes and the humidity of the river valley. 
The wonderfully advantageous location of this city is a sur- 
prise to those not informed on the subject, and this booklet 
will seek to give, in the exact terms of truth, guaranteed by 
the Association by which it is issued, some of the points 
which will be of value to those who are interested. 

Reiver". Evansville is a splendid distributing point, 
with cheap river freights, keeping the railroad rates low in 
competition. The river is in good shape for business nearly 
the whole year, with very little inconvenience from low 
water or ice. The river business is steadily increasing, and 
Evansville has the best of service with packet lines to Louis- 
ville, Cairo, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Memphis and New 
Orleans, besides the Tennessee, Cumberland, Green and 
Wabash River Packets. 

R,ailroads. Trunk Line Railroads north, south, east 
and west; L. & N. south and west; Illinois Central north and 
south; Southern Railway east and west; L., H. & St. L. R. 
R. east; E. & T. H. and E. & I. R. R. north and to connec- 
tions east and west.

EVANSVILLE FROM THE RIVER. 



500 Factoi'ies. Giving facilities for shij-pers to make 
up car-load lots to the very best advantage in all directions. 

Checii|) Fuel. The city is located over a coal field 
with two good veins. Seven mines inside the city limits; 
sixty openings within a radius of thirty miles. Pittsburg 
coal cheap by river. Local coal for manufacturers, Pea and 
Slack 80 cents per ton. Manufacturers need have no fear 
of strikes effecting fuel supply in Indiana, as Kentucky coal 
can be had at all times at competing prices by rail and river. 

Parks. Numerous Parks in the city and suburbs give 
cool resting places for the people. 

Water Works. A first-class system of water works 
owned by the city. Supply abundant. 

Fire Department and The excellent water supply 
Insurance R,ates. and the fine fire department 

well arranged and up-to-date in every particular gives insur- 
ance rates lower than any city in Indiana. 

Population. 60,000; all the advantages of a city and 
much cheaper living expenses. The many German 
truck gardeners around the city make all produce so 
cheap that much is bought up and shipped away. 

Schools. The best free schools in the State of 
Indiana. Sixteen very large buildings, modern in 
all their appointments. 

Churches. All denominations represented, 
with good buildings and large membership. 

Labor. Evansville has been a manufacturing 
city for forty years, and has many inhabitants edu- 
cated to work in factories, insuring a supply of in- 
telligent and reliable hands, particularly in furniturf 
and hardwood. 

Belt R,ailroa<:l. Connecting all factories and 
the railroads, saving large drayage and transfer 
charges. .

Lar§e Banking 
Capital 



Lumber. Hvansville is the largest hard-wood lumber 
market in the country, with immense saw mills running the 
whole year. 

Banks. Banking facilities are ample, with good capital 
in careful and conservative hands. Evansville never had a 
bank failure. 

Prosperity. The manufacturing establishments of 
Evansville report larger profits for last two years than any 
city in the United States. Not a single manufacturer has 
failed to make good profits, and have this year, in many 
cases doubled their capacity with new buildings. 

Street Car and The electric street car system of 

Interurban Lines. Evansville is first -class, reaching 
suburbs in good time. In addition we have interurban lines 
to Newburgh and Howell, and other lines are projected and 
being arranged for as rapidly as possible. One to Prince- 
ton, Ind., 27 miles, is being rapidly completed, and will be 
ready for business in the spring. 




Wholesale Trade. Evansville has whole- 
sale merchants in almost every line of business, 
with large stocks, engaged in selling goods as 
cheap as any city in the west. 

R,etail Stores. In all lines are far larger, 
and carry as complete stocks as in larger cities, 
and sell at more reasonable prices. 

The Evansville will enter into 

Business Association negotiations with 
parties desiring to locate factories in Evansville, 
and can aid such enterprises materially, to favor- 
able terms for locations, facilities, etc.
